The shape here comes from two opposite ideas working against each other. The sleeves are cut wide and stop near the elbow, so the whole top half stays loose and airy while the broad belt at the waist pulls all of it back in along one clean line. What you get is volume where volume is comfortable and definition exactly where you want it, with neither one fighting the other for room.

Below the belt the fabric is folded into soft pleats that release and cross over into a wrapped front panel, so the skirt reads as a straight column with one long diagonal running through it. The cloth is a smooth even weave with a matte finish and enough weight to hold those folds instead of collapsing. A round neckline keeps the front plain and lets the sleeves and the belt do the talking.
